- Integrating Missions: Organizational Identities and Founding Stories i
Description:
Introducing the first volume of a series focusing on the concept, foundations, and future directives of mission integration.
The introductory volume "Integrating Missions; Organizational Identities and Founding Stories in Multi-Partnered Health Systems" investigates the understanding of mission and identity when hospital networks merge hospitals and clinics from diverse Catholic, Franciscan and secular histories.
Recognizing that mission is critical for organizational identity and purpose, Couturier explores the dilemma that hospitals face today when they come together from diverse legacies. While some networks have decided to strategize for one new “super-mission,” Couturier argues for a different strategy. He writes,
“Rather than removing the differences, I ask participants in new missional networks to develop a deep empathy for the founding stories of respective hospitals and to hear them in their distinct language and culture. I ask administrators and staff to enjoy the original stories that created excitement and energy, courage, and commitment at their founding.”
